I tested v4.7-rc7, specifically this deb:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7-rc7/linux-image-4.7.0-040700rc7-generic_4.7.0-040700rc7.201607110032_amd64.deb

It does not fix the problem, so I will be adding the kernel-bug-exists-upstream tags as you requested. The ACPI error messages have changed to reflect a newer version:
ACPI Error: Method reached maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20160422/dsmethod-340)

FWIW, I haven't found it necessary to install linux-header debs since the generic kernels support all the hardware on this machine and I don't need to compile any third party modules.

I have also found that if the machine is idle, there's a pause in the "ACPI Error" messages. I think it depends on how much writing to disk is going on, but that's just a gut feeling. I'm not quite sure how to verify that assumption, or if it would help diagnose the problem.
